This Waiting Is Killing Me!!

I have been waiting on the results of this pageant for a long time. I wish someone would post the results already!!! I am so impatient. I really hope that she pulled it off.

Today is supposed to be the balloon release for little Kayleigh. I don't know if we are going to do it. I still can't get my hands on enough pink balloons and I would hate to walk to the park for one balloon. We will see.

Still completely tired right now and I've been up for about 3 hours. Slept straight through the night, so I don't know what the problem is. Probably just going through one of my phases again.

A good friend of mine told me about this $8,000 tax credit thingy. Normally, if you buy a house, you get the tax credit when you do your taxes. However, apparently now they have it set up a new way. You can use that $8K towards a downpayment and they just take it out of your refund. You'd have to pay it back when you get your refund. Sounds good until you think about it, if you get back over $8K on your refund, you are only going to get the difference. The Feds get their cut first and even if there is $1.00 left, that's all you are getting.

Sounds good, but I don't know if I'd want to do that. I look forward to my refund every year. I don't want it eaten up by the Feds. It sounds good, but I just don't know.

Was thinking about Tink-Tink's 1st birthday gift. I want to get her a Custom Doll House. You know the big grand ones that you build yourself and paint yourself. Then you add all the furniture and people. I had one of these when I was little. My dad built it for me from a kit and I remember it to this day. Barbie was quite uncomfortable in that thing.....lol!!!! I am realizing that Taylor may still be a bit too young for it and it may be okay for her 2nd or 3rd birthday, but I really want to get it for her 1st birthday.


Well have to go now. Have a brainstorming session to do right now about Tink-Tink's birthday. I know I am planning wayyyyy too early....but I want to get everything all planned now, so I won't be doing any last minute rushing around. I have to select a theme, location (will not be at Barf-E-Cheese's), cake, guest list, presents, etc. I do know the theme is going to be "Pink" something. I am probably going to go with a "Disney Princess" theme, seeing as how when we move and she gets her room, it will be decorated in that theme. And I swear she could be the first Half Black/Half Filipina Disney Princess if they ever invent one!!! But hey....those of us with daughters...don't we think they are all princesses? I don't know. We have to decide because it's only about 5 months away.
